I also have an antique watering can that I have planted flowers in. Only I stenciled a bouquet of flowers on the front of. And I LOVE your wagon too!!! So jealous of it, now I need to be on the hunt for an antique wagon 🙂

I love your idea of using the antique watering can and buckets as planters–they look great! I like to use old baskets in the same way. I had one that I had used as a wastebasket in a bathroom for a while, but I got tired of it yet didn’t want to throw away a perfectly good basket. Instead, I took it outside, lined it with a plastic garbage bag sized to fit inside, filled it with potting soil and hid the plastic bag at the top of the basket, and then planted some ferns that I had growing on a shady side of the house and some coleus that I had started from seed. I watered it in, and placed it in a group with other container plants, and it provides a little visual variety and looks great! Water every day, and miracle grow once a week to keep it growing and looking lush.
